Asterix #[15]

A tense mood crackles across this 1972 Dargaud release as the cover shows a red-faced, furious Obelix squaring up aggressively while a wary Asterix looks on — the whole Gaulish village visible as a restless crowd in the background, hinting that trouble has come to their usually united ranks. Albert Uderzo's cover art captures both the humor and the discord with his trademark expressive linework and bold, vivid colors. With René Goscinny, Anthea Bell, and Derek Hockridge all contributing to the script, this adventure promises the sharp wit and warmth that make this series so enduring.
